Positive Thinking and Aging

By chance, I saw this article in USA Today over the weekend.  It discusses how Ruth Peale, widow of Norman Vincent Peale, just turned 100 years old.

Norman Vincent Peale is, of course, one of the fathers of positive thinking.  The article mentions how Norman died in 1993 at the age of 95.  Ruth was asked how she lived to the 100 year milestone and responded, "It's all about thinking positive.  Norman and I always were positive about everything, in our marriage, in our work, in our whole lives."
